Hi Ferdinand,
I agree, I miss the Momentum magazine too...but I guess it's inevitable these days. The internet will replace paper magazines more and more and I think that there is no way back with products like the Ipad and so on. On the other hand, it's a good thing for the environment ;-) and the PanoInverse, I said it before, is stunning imvho. If you give me the choice between the white gold, the red gold or the steel piece I would go definitely for the steel version, despite that steel is not a noble metal... Go check it out at the dealer when it's there and you'll be surprised by it's appearance on the wrist and in the flesh... 
cheers, Wim  Wim K. Glashütte Original Forum Moderator Dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die tomorrow. (James Dean) el tiempo es la base de nuestra existencia un día a la vez, siempre cerca de usted
